Just before I was finally able to pull the trigger on some Lextek headers, I read from someone saying it won’t fit the Deluxe model because the center stand is in the way. After looking at Delkevic they also list their headers for the VFR800 F model, not the deluxe. Has anyone tried installing the Delkevic on the deluxe to confirm it wont work, or any other headers they will fit? Thanks guys

Hey there, funky question for anyone who's done this before me. I'm currently running a Delkevic slip-on exhaust for a 2015 and plan on getting the full headers system soon. My question to y'all is, what is the best way to tune the system for it? DynoJet has their Power Commander V but only has the two files for full stock and just a slip-on exhaust. Is there a different system for full exhaust setups better than DynoJet or is the only option having it custom Dyno tuned? I'd hate to pay hundreds for a custom Dyno just to have them install a file accessible anywhere. Thanks guys!

I recently acquired a low mileage 2007 VFR with a Two Brothers Racing 4-to-1 exhaust system (mufflers and mid-pipe). However I'm a middle guy with plenty of hearing loss who lives in the suburbs, so I switched back to the quieter OEM mufflers. With this system, the left muffler is not used but included to maintain symmetry, could be used for storage. It sounds great and is considerably lighter than the OEM system. It's very easy to install, attaches at the same points of the OEM system and re-uses the OEM hardware. I'm asking $150 and whatever shipping costs from Central Virginia. I can make myself available for pickup as well. Thank You.

Hi Guys and Gals, So spoke to my nearest Honda motorcycle dealer Rick Gills Motorcycles and Paul from their parts and service was very helpful. Turns out my bike hasn't had the recall work carried out as shown by a lack of punch/stamp below the J on the head stock VIN stamp. As shown below. There should be a dot punched/stamped there below the J if the recall work has been carried out. So if any of the Aussie 6th geners are reading that's what to check if you have a bike with a VIN between JH2RC46U*2M400005 to JH2RC46U*5M700241. (Don't know if the mark is standard across the world/regions). So the part(s) have been ordered and I'll get a call in a week or 2 to book it in for the work. On the exhaust front I got some great feedback (for once ) with Gumtree. A couple of interstate riders willing to help out but shipping would have defeated the purpose of keeping the cost down. Ended up getting a pair off of a great bloke named Simon locally on Monday for a 100 buckaroos. Local exhaust shop said $25 a side to weld the ends back on so I got to it last night as shown. I marked approximately 6mm in from the centre of the weld to cut with the hack saw. Sorry about the photo quality. A bit of persuasion and BFI and I got it out.. Got the other side done and called it a night. In total it took about 1 hour and a half and a few beers. I dropped the cans off at the exhaust shop this morning, as they are flat out and my job is no worth much to them it could take a day or 2. I'll be annoyed if I can't try them by the weekend. I'll try to get some audio recording as well to put up. Thanks for taking the time to check it out. Cheers.

Does anyone run with replica Yosi or Akra slip ons on their 6th gen? I have a 2002 with staintunes but I hate the look of them (they look very 90s) and the sound is not all that impressive either. Being on a budget, I was thinking to keep the staintunes pipe from the car to the muffler, but swap the muffler for something like what is linked below. Would love your opinions or how it experiences have been. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...&terminal_id=d66aa675de044d22a4568e9993fbe019

I recently purchased a red 2002 VFR800 and I am absolutely loving it! It hides its age extremely well except for one thing (which tends to be an eye sore for me); the big outdated under tail exhausts. Another issue I have with my motorcycle is it is just no loud enough. I run with a Stain-tune cat back exhaust (without the baffles) and also have the stock exhaust. Now I know I can have a custom exhaust fabricated or use a more modern style rear exhaust setup (like repurposing a R1 or Ducati TOCE setup for the VFR) and this would fix both of my issues (make it louder and get rid of the dated look, but I am a university student on a pretty tight budget when it comes to throwing money on a bike. The alternative to this is running with a cheap slip on exhaust which comes out the side. The issue with this would be the gaping hole under the tail where the old cans used to be; this just makes the motorcycle look like something is off about it. What I am proposing is to get an affordable slip on and put that on the side, and fabricate a piece to go under the tail. I would fabricate this by first making a mold around the empty tail with cardboard, filling it with expanding foam, shaving it down to fit the bike, going over the foam with fibreglass, and finally paint matching with the Italian Red Honda paint. I could also have the fibreglass part painted at a shop if it would be cheaper. I have listed the rough price estimate and a getto mock of the final product (slip on not included in the mock up). I would love to get your guys opinion on this, the level of difficulty this would be, and if this is a pipe dream or something that is actually realistic and a good idea. Thanks. Cost Estimate: - Shorty Slip On Exhaust - $100 CAD - Expanding Foam - $10 CAD - Cardboard - Free - Sandpaper and Files - Free - Fibreglass Repair Kit - $40 CAD - Primer - $10 CAD - Honda Paint - $35 CAD - Clear Coat - $15 CAD - Total - $210 Motorcycle Mockup:

I am located in the Greater Toronto Area and I am looking to sell both the stock exhaust and the Staintune exhaust for my VFR800. How much could I get for it? I would prefer a local deal so there is lower sick of getting scammed online, but I am open to also selling online and shipping it? I thought I would ask you guys before I post with a price that is too low or too high.

I installed a set of Leo Vince pipes and at this point don't plan to put stock back on. Free if you pick it up in the Seattle area. Let me know if you want pictures.

I hit an enormous series of potholes a couple days ago and noticed my exhaust sounded louder so pulled over and noticed the bracket securing the Vance & Hines ti pipe had broken off, resulting in the pipe hanging down and swinging out to the side- thankfully it didn't fall off but now I need to know if this bracket can be welded. Pretty sure I won't be able to find a new bracket. There appear to be some small rivets that were used to hold it together.

I have a 1998 VFR800 with a clean non-op title. I bought it from someone who didn't disclose it had head gasket issues, so it has been sitting for a few years since I discovered that. It has ~35,000 miles on it and the battery is dead. The cool part is this bike came with the desirable Wolf Brothers under seat exhaust. While the bike ran it sounded incredible. I also have a print version of the factory workshop manual. Let me know if you have any questions. Lets start at $2500 OBO. I am located in Bakersfield, CA.

I recently picked up a 98 vfr800 and it has a micron slip on but for me it's a touch too quiet (need to not only hear but feel that v4 in my bones and soul) it sounds great just on the quiet side. So my questions are : Is there a louder "slip on" if I buy headers will that increase performance and volume because I still like power and noise. I want louder but not reading

For sale is a near new Delkevic 9" Oval stainless exhaust, Mid pipe and mufflers. I've had this on the bike for maybe 2 months and its had about 500 miles at most run thru it. There isnt even carbon buildup in the cans. it's in the process of a tail swap and the system wont work with it so I'm having a custom midpipe made. Still have the original box with the tube of exhaust sealant. There are zero blemishes on the system. I recently (last week) wrapped the midpipe with exhaust wrap but that will come off before shipping. Everything needed to mount this system will be included. Asking for 250 plus shipping. This system retails new for around 350-375 plus shipping (depending on where you get it) and I can include the purchase order to show how new it really is. Message me with any questions

Removed from my '09 at about 12k miles. Been in storage for a few years and I need a little cash. These are not gutted. No dents or scratches. $100. Shipping charges are outrageous due to the bulky size so local pick-up is preferred. Western New York Area.

Hi, I'm new to this Honda Specific/ V4 engine forum and I'm glad to be a part of it for some help!! Soooo... I've been doing research on aftermarket exhaust slip-on systems and been looking all over the place. I've been coming back to one company and that's 'Black Widow'. Any opinions on the brand and the type of exhausts they sell??? How they fit? Sound quality? Reliability? Reviews on them? I'm looking for a good sounding exhaust and if you have any recommendations I would really appreciate them! Here are the slip-ons I'm stuck on possibly buying: 200mm: https://www.blackwidowexhausts.co.uk/vfr800-98-03-rc46-hi-level-silencer-kit-with-200mm-oval-carbon-fibre-silencer--carbon-tip-20745-p.asp 300mm: https://www.blackwidowexhausts.co.uk/vfr800-98-03-rc46-hi-level-exhaust-silencer-kit-with-300mm-oval-carbon-fibre-silencer--carbon-tip-20747-p.asp ALL exhausts that fit the bike: https://www.blackwidowexhausts.co.uk/high-level-style-rc46-631-c.asp Thank you!

Added a 96 4th gen to keep 91 company in garage,.... Stock silencer that has been gutted. Have read just about every post on topic and still in dark. I will post a couple of pics of existing with back cap removed. I am 3rd owner. Work was done cleanly by 1st. Cap is retained by 3 stainless Allen head screws. One pipe seems to have been removed and I assume there was a plate at tail with exit port that has been cut. My goal would be to modify to achieve DB somewhere between this gutted can and stock. Currently this must be acting a total straight pipe as what is left has no affect. My plan would be to remove what is left, install a perforated tube and pack. I am thinking of a front space to allow expansion. This would be a disk with OD equal to ID of can, with 2" center hole, set back 5" from front. Perf tube into that and carry to tail. Use tail cap to center and hold all pushed to front. ? - Can the entire existing inner perf sleeve be removed by drilling/grinding the 3 rivets that are directly behind the rivets that secured the rear cap? If I go with a 2" center perf tube that will be packed then this sleeve is just weight,... Any thoughts, info greatly appreciated! Any science in layman's terms?

Hi, Here is my exhaust I just installed on my 2002 VFR. First I'll tell you what I got. I was looking at the Delkevic mini 8" but felt they were to short. So I found Pipewerx GP3's race cansthat are 12" (custom lengths available) perfect for the look I wanted and they sound awesome. Pipewerx does not have 6th gen VFR800 link pipes so I purchased Delkevic. Delkevic sells these only by email or phone (not on there website). The Pipewerx cans slip on 1" inch further on to the Delkevic linkpipes so cans are only 3" further out just as I wanted. License plate is tight with werkes fender eliminator but so is Delkevic mini 8". Here are some pictures. Mark IMG_1652_Trim_(2).mp4

I recently modded my stock vfr800 exhaust! Check out this viseo to see how I did it! Let me know if you have any questions!

Anyone fitted a aftermarket exhaust on a 2017 with the centre stand mount/stop hanging off the CAT? Like the Arrow Proracing pipe but only see availability for 14 - 16 models.

I bought this VF500F earlier this year as a project bike and my second ever motorcycle. I have been working on making it look better and work as it did in the '80s(while modernizing where I can). I thought I was buying a 1985 VF500F, but have since found out from the MTO history documents that it is an '84. Its got 56 thousand km on it, but it runs and it was cheap. I have been told that one of the previous owners restored it using a few donor bikes and based on the frame paint and what not I'd say it has. I have been taking it apart and learning how it works so that I can fix up anything is out of date or falling apart. It has been fairly straight forward so far using guides and chatting with people on this forum, but I have a few questions and am looking for general advice. I've been thinking about the exhaust on this bike for awhile. The bike has some sort of upgraded 4-1 exhaust on it and I think I've identified it as the Hindle 4-1 pipe. It shows it's age though. There is rust pitting and an odd cloudy texture on the metal. How do I resurface the pipe? Also, the can that was on the end was a SuperTrap, but its kinda broken and I'd like something lower profile too. I have been considering leaving the end open as a straight pipe, except the end of the pipe is messed up and has an adapter bolted straight through it. To fix this I want to remove the end bit of the pipe and fab my own stainless side exit. Would this be viable? Will it mess with the tuning too much? I am aware of the carb jetting I'd need to do in order to make it work and I can do it. All that I've been reading from GAZ's topic about building his own pipe has put me off though. I'd also like to know what having this pipe means compared to stock. Besides the exhaust I am open to advice for things to fix. So far my list of things to do looks like this: Tires Repainted wheels Lights Speedometer Redone seat Chain and sprockets Wobbly clutch lever(How do I fix this?) Carb sync and clean Carb jetting Mirrors I am going to link an album of pictures here for the pipe. http://imgur.com/a/RmqqA P.S. - I am not keeping the original look of this bike, but I am a huge fan of the engineering behind the VFR series and I've wanted one of these since I first got into bikes. If anyone in Ontario needs red plastics or stock parts I can hook you up. This is an ultra-low budget D.I.Y. build, since I'm 18 and in school(before anyone suggests super sonic builders who can do it for me). Why is mine red?

Hey All, First time VFR owner and first time poster. I've been a Triumph thoroughbred for a while now - owning both a Street Triple and Thunderbird - I decided I wanted something a bit more sport touring. A few family friends own VFR's from various generations and I have heard nothing but good things about them. So I decided to buy a 2009 VFR800 to add to my stable. The previous owner did some tasteful mods to it such as Honda hard bags, leovince exhaust, tail tidy and a double bubble windshield. To add my own touch to it I'm adding a few mods to it myself - honda logos on lower portion of the fairing, reflective rim stripes and a rear tire hugger from red fox (waiting for it in the mail). In addition I wanted to create a new tail tidy as I noticed without any form of mud guard, the tail lights get coated in road grime and dirt and muck which reduces their effectiveness (plus they are getting sandblasted.) I am making a new inner rear fender to cover up the gap in between the exhaust behind the tail tidy. My ultimate goal is to cast my prototype in carbon fiber. Take a look and let me know your thoughts or if you have any suggestions.

Hi all, I know it's been covered before, but I'm looking for a left side exit exhaust system for my VFR750 RC36 (1991). I'm located in Europe, so shipping overseas is a bit expensive. Does anyone know a good system or has one? Thanks! Jurjen

Hi everyone. I have been contemplating getting my exhaust shields powder coated black to match the rest of my bikes powder coated items. Such as my rearsets, swingarm, head cover, bars, levers, clamp, etc. Has anyone ever done this before and would the heat from the exhaust effect the powder coat at all. Thanks for looking. In my opnion the guards being black would completely change the look of the bike.

Hi everyone, I hope you're all well and in good spirits. I got my 'beast' just under a year ago and she was broken, battered and neglected. There was no MOT, the chain and sprockets were rusty, chain adjuster was seized, the oil was jet black and there was massive hole in the cat. But to be fair... it was quite clean: I got it in the middle of winter for a very reasonable price, so I then embarked upon a journey to restore her to her former glory! The list includes: -2 new Michelin Road Pilot 4 tyres -new D.I.D chain and sprockets -new tapered steering stem bearings -new front brake discs and pads -new battery -fitted an independent hazard light kit wired straight to the battery with blinker relay and diodes -powder coated wheels and nose cone bracket in gloss black -puig double bubble screen -side exhaust conversion (yoshi can) -pillion foot pegs and grab rails removed and honda blanks fitted -new rear wheel bearings (including needle and sprocket carrier bearings), all replaced with genuine Honda parts -eccentric hub cleaned and re-greased, chain adjuster is now free to move -new oil and filter, new coolant, coolant reservoir also cleaned -new spark plugs -K&N air filter -removed chain guard and sprocket cover and cleaned out years worth of grease and dirt -exhaust studs and nuts all replaced with stainless steel This is what she looks now: As it was coming up to winter, I thought the stock headlights could do with an upgrade, so I fitted these: I'll stop rambling for now, but I'm very pleased to be a part of the VFRd community! :)

Hi Guys/Girls, can anyone give advice on this. My Old Boy and I have just started servicing the 94 750, and as we were flushing the coolant system we’ve noticed that there seems to be a fresh oil leak that has just started on the 3 bolt exhaust flange at the rear of the motor. We originally had a smokey exhaust when we first picked it up, this has stopped. We believed it was either old stale fuel, or a slightly sticky ring. The rear spark plugs had a coating of oil while the fronts were clean. Any advice would be handy on thoughts as to what could be occurring? If it’s a sticky ring, any way of releasing it? And if this isn’t the case, what cost am I looking at to get into the motor to fix this ? Thanks Hendo
